Heian Jingu (shrine) was constructed to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the establishment of the Heian Capital (now, Kyoto) in 1895. Soryu-ro (Blue Dragon Tower) built in 1894 is attached on the right side of Daigoku-den (outer sanctuary).

The old architecture in the image is one of foreign branches of State Bank of India, which was taken over by the Pakistani Custodian of Enemy Property due to the outbreak of hostilities between India and Pakistan in 1965.
